(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Chang Guiyun,
aged 59, from Jiaohe City, Jilin Province, is being severely
persecuted at the Heizuizi Women's Prison of Changchun City. She
has lost all her teeth, lost a lot of weight, her facial features
have become deformed and her hair has turned grey. She is unable to
speak clearly or perform daily functions well.

Ms. Chang is forcibly brainwashed and constantly watched by
inmates who are assigned to monitor and torture practitioners. She
is forced to sit on a small plastic stool for 15 hours a day. She
is also forced to watch video programs defaming Dafa, and then has
to repeatedly write essays renouncing her belief in Falun Dafa. She
is not allowed to go to bed until she finishes writing the essays.
Every day from five in the morning until night, Ms. Chang and other
practitioners are brainwashed this way. Under such great pressure,
many practitioners have started showing symptoms of mental stress,
and some have developed physical problems that they never had
before, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, uterine cancer,
ossein proliferation. These diseases cause loss of mobility and a
decline in their health.

Due to the torture in the prison, Ms. Chang's arm was broken,
and her cerebral thrombosis recurred. She has lost a lot of weight,
her hair has turned grey, her teeth have all fallen out, she
dribbles from the mouth, has difficulty eating, and she is
constantly tearful. Upon seeing her condition, her family could not
help but cry. During family visits, Ms. Chang just sobs. It is hard
to tell the degree to which her physical and mental health has been
affected by the persecution.

Ms. Chang was arrested by the police in a computer store on
March 21, 2008. On July 4, she and four other practitioners Shi
Xiuzhen, Zhang Min, Pang Shuwen, and Liu Baochun were sentenced by
the Jiaohe Court. Ms. Chang was sentenced to eight years
imprisonment. When detained at the Jiaohe Detention Center, she was
tortured with various methods, including Hang Up, Hanging Up in the
Air, and Tiger Bench.

Ms. Chang is a good person who has not committed any crime. She
is jailed because of the persecution and the illegal trail. Due to
Ms. Chang's poor health condition, her family requested the prison
to release her on medical parole, but their request was rejected
without any reason given.
